Kim Uchiyama "Archaeo"
Lohin Geduld Gallery
This event has ended.
The centuries-old axiom that color is of the emotions while drawing is of the intellect comes into question in front of a Kim Uchiyama painting. While sensuality abounds in Uchiyama’s resonating palette, the mind is instantly engaged with the strategy of her stacked horizontal bands of color. Uchiyama’s reductive painting language clears the way for a meditation on rhythm, interval, cadence and movement. Like Josef Albers before her, Uchiyama presents a deceivingly simple geometry that allows for an infinite variety of expression.
A recent stint at an artist residency in southern Italy inspired Uchiyama to contemplate the multilayered history of that Mediterranean crossroad. The results can be seen in her new paintings, where excavations of paint films reveal past efforts and decisions. An archeology of sorts emerges, as one color band is supplanted by an overlapping new choice of hue or saturation level. The end result is a beautiful tapestry of actions and reactions, woven into a harmonious state of equilibrium.
